The Strokes' Fabrizio Moretti is 28 today. Scandal-plagued district attorney-turned-TV talking head Jeanine Pirro is 57, as is American Express CEO Ken Chenault. Afro-lovin' Princeton professor Cornel West is 55. And New York Times columnist (and now HBO consultant) Frank Rich is 59.

Moretti is the hottie drummer of NYC's privileged kids-cum-rock and roll outfit The Strokes. Amidst the other's brooding and boozing, Fab has always been painted as the "groups' soft spoken intellectual" and token nice guy.
